About Hausmannite
Formula:
Mn2+Mn3+2O4
Colour:
Brown-black
Lustre:
Resinous, Sub-Metallic, Dull
Hardness:
5½
Specific Gravity:
4.83 - 4.85
Crystal System:
Tetragonal
Member of:
Name:
Originally named "blättricher Schwarz-Braunstein" in 1813 by Johann Friedrich Ludwig Hausmann, Professor of Mineralogy, University of Göttingen, Germany (February 22, 1782, Hanover, Germany - December 26, 1859, Göttingen, Germany). Renamed by Wilhelm Haidinger in 1827 in honor of Hausmann.
Isostructural with:
Forms a series with hetaerolite.
Hausmannite has a tetragonal distorted spinel structure (due to the Jahn-Teller distortion of the Mn3+-centred polyhedron). When heated above 1473 K, a cubic high-temperature phase appears (Frenzel 1980).
Hausmannite generally forms black granular aggregates or, relatively rare, pseudo-octahedral crystals.
May be formed during high-power laser-induced degradation of ramsdellite (which, in turn, may form from its variety "groutellite").

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.
Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.
Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

Other Information
Magnetism:
Ferrimagnetic
Notes:
Pure hausmannite is ferrimagnetic with a very low Curie temperature of 42.5 K. Iron-rich (3 and 11.3 wt.% Fe2O3) hausmannite is anomalously strongly magnetic (Wessels mine).
Health Risks:
No information on health risks for this material has been entered into the database. You should always treat mineral specimens with care.
